Did the Sushi making class which was a lot of fun and would recommend. Played Mini Golf late at night.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Loved all the shows that were offered. Mamma Mia was fantastic. The Beatles Tribute band were really good. Comedy Show was hilarious. We kept missing the aqua show due to weather so that was a bummer but what can you do. Things happen. The only real bummer was other than these shows there’s wasn’t much to do for young adults. Karaoke was fun the first couple nights but gets old after that. The “Latin” dancing was targeted to the older crowd and wasn’t what I thought it would be. The music was slower and not up beat. If you wanted to go dancing then you’d have to wait until late at night for the club to open but by that time I was exhausted and too old for “clubbing” lol. I wish during the pool hours there was more music playing. There were a couple days there was music but didn’t last long.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was so nice. Our stateroom attendant was super friendly. We saw him everyday and always asked us if we needed anything. We loved our staff in the main dining. They remembered us and always made it a great time when we come in for our dinner.

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved our cabin with the Central Park view. We didn’t feel like we had an inside cabin with the window over looking the park.

Ship tip

Relax and Enjoy every minute. Drink package is highly recommended when it’s on sale. Just the ease of not having to worry about how many drinks you had when you get the bill at the end of your cruise is great.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Loved the beaches. We did the 4x4 excursion. The island is still devastated from the Hurricane and will take years to repair. It was really sad to see. I recommend either going to one of the beaches or shopping in town

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Absolutely loved PR! Shopping in town was so much fun. We went to Barrachina’s for lunch. They have the BEST Pina Colada’s. We also ordered Mofongo, a local favorite dish, and it was pretty tasty. We were only their half a day so we didn’t have time to check out Old San Juan but heard it’s beautiful. Will check that out next time I go.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5

Wasn’t impressed with Labadee. The part of the beach we were at was extremely rocky. I did hear there were other parts that were not so rocky so if I do end up there again I will check out those areas. I would recommend the Zip Line. That was the best part of the island. It was amazing
